After nearly nine months, German police have evacuated the protest camp near the Tesla factory in Grünheide, Berlin. Environmental activists had occupied the area to oppose the factory’s expansion, which would result in the destruction of 100 hectares of forest. The decision to clear the camp was made after repeated legal violations by the activists and concerns about public safety. Despite initial allowances for the protest, the police moved in due to bomb threats related to World War II explosives. Activists have announced plans for a new protest on November 23.
